With President Bush’s surprise visit to Iraq, the death of Al-Zarqawi and the victory for Republicans in the 50th Congressional race in California, it has been a tremendous week for us political junkies. All the hard work the press has expended to drive Bush’s approval ratings down was washed away with one week of stunning victories. The Iraq government has been formed and the top terrorist eliminated. The Iraq security force seems to be growing in confidence and the people of Iraq are regaining control over their gov...
Expanded basic cable has become a Pandora’s Box for families. Many parents welcome expanded basic cable into their homes because it opens up a whole universe of family-friendly programming. Channels like the Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, the Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and others. But to access the educational and family-friendly networks, families are also forced to pay for channels they don’t want and that actually make their job as a parent much more difficult. In addition to trying to protect their children from the...
I was stunned when I read the letter by Stan Rauh (June 15) and his politicization of a Memorial Day event meant to honor those killed in action in the present Iraq War. His message seemed to be that only veterans who are pro-war are real veterans. Whatever one’s political view, pro-war or pro-peace, I find it offensive when someone deliberately politicizes a memorial meant to honor these dead. Some of the dead killed in action may have been scoundrels, some were heroes, but we do not come together at a Memorial to judge. W...
My name is Casie Philley and I’m a member of the Fallbrook 4-H Club. Next year I will be in seventh grade at Zion Lutheran School. This is my first year in 4-H and this year I am raising a steer and two lambs for the San Diego County Fair. My black baldy steer’s name is Rogain.

Hi, my name is Walter Philley. I am 10 years old and this is my first year in 4-H. Next year I will be in fifth grade at Zion Lutheran School. This year I’m raising two lambs and a piggy. My lambs’ names are Puffy and Squidward. My piggy’s name is Bubbles. I have raised Puffy since he was born and I have won showmanship with him twice. Since I won my class I got to move up to intermediate showmanship class, where I placed fourth, so I’ve worked really hard to learn to show my animals this year. I showed Bubbles at the You...

As we finish our school year here at Potter, I would like to acknowledge all of the parents and community members who have helped to make Potter Jr. High School’s school year so successful.

We look forward to having you here with us next year. Many thanks to the rest of our PTA for giving many hours to Potter, and a special tha... Full story
Col. Rauh’s negative and angry personal attack on me epitomizes the problem with political discourse in America. Mr. Rauh called the effort of Veterans for Peace to honor our fallen troops “insolent”. These memorials are serious and respectful. They’re quite different than the pro-war or anti-war speeches given at other Memorial Day events. He implied that only those who support the war are entitled to an opinion or can honor those who have sacrificed. VFP does have a political agenda. The point I made in my letter is that... Full story
